What kind of world does one see when one experiences it from the point of view of two and not one?

Alain Badiou

Liberal capitalism is not at all the Good of humanity. Quite the contrary; it is the vehicle of savage, destructive nihilism.
ALAIN BADIOU

All Capitalism Good Humanity Liberal
In fact, so as not to succumb to an obscurantist theory of creation ex nihilo, we must accept that an event is nothing but a part of a given situation, nothing but a fragment of being.
ALAIN BADIOU

Being Creation Fact Fragment Give Nothing Obscuranist Sccumb Situation Theory
There is no ethics in general. There are only-eventually-ethics of processes by which we treat the possibilities of a situation.
ALAIN BADIOU

Ethics Eventually General Only Possibility Process Situation Treat
The aesthetic effect is certainly imaginary; but this imaginary is not the reflection of the real, since it is the real of this reflection.

Evil is the interruption of a truth by the pressure of particular or individual interests.

We could say that love is a tenacious adventure. The adventurous side is necessary, but equally so is the need for tenacity.

ALAIN BADIOU

Adventure Could Equality Love Necessary Need Tenacious
The cinema is a place of intrinsic indiscernibility between art and non-art.

There is a kind of serenity in love which is almost a paradise.

Love can only consist in failure…on the fallacious assumption that it is a relationship. But it is not. It is a production of truth.
ALAIN BADIOU

Assumption Consist Failure Fallacious Love Relationship

ALAIN BADIOU

It is thus quite simply false that whereof one cannot speak (in the sense of ‘there is nothing to say about it that specifies it and grants it separating properties’), thereof one must be silent.
ALAIN BADIOU
